The Seahawks have won their past four Thursday night games by a combined 97-31 score, all by at least 12 points.
If few other NFL players would have described Thursday night games quite the way Seattle’s Richard Sherman did a year ago — he memorably called them “an absolute poopfest’’ — almost none would disagree.
Most players generally say it’s not until Thursday that their bodies begin to feel somewhat normal again after the punishment of the previous Sunday, which many say has led to often sloppy and sluggish Thursday night games.
But the Thursday nighters aren’t going away anytime soon, and every team has to play one at some point in an NFL season.
